    Where exactly do you store your tennis stuff? Rackets, bag, supplies, clothing, etc

    Tabilo went full Canadian at the end. Essentially started playing like he was sorry for playing well up to this point. Eh?

    Do any good polys last 30+ hours

    I've played poly that's been in a racquet for 15 years. It was fine. I sometimes hit with a very good player who has had the same poly in his racquet since last summer. I also play with a couple of guys who like to "cut it out" after a few hours. There is no detectable difference in their...

    Cut it down and refrain from reading about how everything will be thrown off by the modification.

    Ole Ole Ole Ole, Shelton, Shelton!

    Can't talk about pro tennis either since he's not a pro.

    The most delusional player you ever met?

    I'm currently dealing with a lesser degree of this. Older guy who is too proud to do any fitness work and tries to jump back into action off months of being sedentary. Gets into the cycle of destroying himself with a long session and then can't play again for weeks.
